i think it is quite difficult, if not impossible, to say definitely who is the best player of all time, as they played in different eras; and we have to go beyond individual stats and consider how many championships they won, etc. etc.

so maybe its best to think of it in terms of position, i.e. best center, best point guard, etc. of all time.

In the modern era, i'd say:

Best center - Shaq
Best power forward - Karl Malone
Best small forward - Larry Bird
Best shooting guard - MJ
Best point guard - Magic (he redefined the position). If you want a "pure" point guard, John Stockton.

Pls. note i didn't include active players like Lebron, Kobe, etc. since their careers aren't over yet.

para sa kin c Wilt Chamberlain?? sa tingin nyo?? bakit nde lagi sya nbabanggit being the best player there is?? is it because mas matangkad sya?? why is george Mikan the best player of the 1st haf century ng NBA/ABA?? e mas malaki din sya??

siguro po kasi, success is measured by achievement...
what i mean is the ultimate goal to get a ring,
take for example karl malone and tim duncan, most basketball experts consider duncan as the best pf that played the game
the difference between the two? rings.
why is alcindor and russell ranked higher than wilt? rings.
note: in one of wilt's interviews he tells that alcindor was the first player he asked his team that they help him defend.

as for mikhan's case, it was more of a spectacle seeing someone that huge(6'10") and playing the game at that time...

naalala ko tuloy yung hall of fame enshrinement ni robinson.... In his speech, he called tim the answer to his prayers and the best pf ..... Nung time ni stockton naman mag speech, he quoted robinson and said, i beg to disagree....
